Not for me

Not really. I'm requesting if the file name includes path and the tip in file path says:
It stores the file path. If not included, the file name is not split.

I disagree in this, sorry. BTW, on my commute this morning I thought a bit and I expected this comment

I appreciate why you might not want to do this.

Well, I like your suggestion for this but.. it's not right because, if you fulfill path and name column, the name column doesn't include the file path
